KARS Antibody

1. The studies showed that mutations in KARS lead to a newly defined subtype of leukoencephalopathy associated with sensorineural hearing impairment. The combined effect of reduced aminoacylation and release of LysRS from the multiple-synthetase complex (MSC) likely underlies the pathogenesis of the KARS mutations identified in this study. PMID: 28887846
2. Using the TruSight One sequencing panel we identified two novel mutations in KARS. Both mutations, never reported previously, occur in a highly conserved region of the catalytic domain and displayed a dramatic effect on KARS stability PMID: 27891585
3. Caspase-8 controls the secretion of inflammatory lysyl-tRNA synthetase in exosomes from colorectal cancer cells. PMID: 28611052
4. Results indicate that KRS can promote cell-cell and cellextracellular matrix adhesion for migration. PMID: 26891990
5. finding show that enzymatically active Shiga toxins trigger the dissociation of lysyl-tRNA synthetase (KRS) from the multi-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex in human macrophage-like differentiated THP-1 cells and its subsequent secretion. PMID: 26643967
6. KRS at the plasma membrane plays new roles in metastatic migration as a signaling inducer, and causes intracellular signaling for cancer dissemination PMID: 26091349

11. The KARS variant is identified in two families affected by DFNB89-associated autosomal-recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment. PMID: 23768514
12. C-terminal domain of HIV-1 capsid protein as surrogate for human lysyl tRNA synthetase PMID: 23208549
13. A single conformational change triggered by phosphorylation leads to multiple effects driving an exclusive switch of LysRS function from translation to transcription. PMID: 23159739
14. Dual role for motif 1 residues of human lysyl-tRNA synthetase in dimerization and packaging into HIV-1. PMID: 23095741
15. The work thus unveiled a unique function of KRS in the control of cell migration and its pathological implication in metastasis. PMID: 22751010
16. Data are consistent with hypothesis that maturation of cytoplasmic KARS precursor is needed to reveal the potent tRNA binding properties of mitochondrial KARS. PMID: 22235746
17. LysRS associates with the Pol domain of GagPol. PMID: 21763493
18. The results suggest that this unique geometry, which reconfigures the LysRS tetramer from alpha(2):alpha(2) to alpha(2)beta(1):beta(1)alpha(2), is designed to control both retention and mobilization of LysRS from the multi-tRNA synthetase complex PMID: 21536907
19. The interaction between helix 7 of LysRS and helix 4 of the capsid C-terminal domain of HIV-1 Gag (HIV-CA-CTD) was studied using circular dichromism spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation. PMID: 21093454
20. These results underscore the contribution of KARS to the emission of (one of) the principal signal(s) of immunogenic cell death, CRT exposure. PMID: 20699648
